It feels like the entire GOP is a group of pedophiles. Yuck.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Bad jeans.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing how the extreme wealth concentration is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

Kudos to Pope Leo for speaking out. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

DFA President Dave Westwood with a message for @dalhousieu.bsky.social students. #keepdalstrong @caut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social

John Fugelsang: a Christian who has actually read the Bible!

It's been almost four weeks since the @dalhousieu.bsky.social lockout of DFA faculty began. Progress has been made. Now, it's time for President Brooks to step in and get the Board to accept what is a fair and reasonable offer by the DFA. Let's get on with the term. #keepdalstrong

Evangelicals who voted for him, are christians in name only (CINO). They have no faith, they will rot in Gehenna.

Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder?

“Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”

Highlights of this article: • Due to incompetent, naive, and complicit governments, Nova Scotia lost hundreds of millions of dollars through the Northern Pulp saga; • Whether the company built a new mill in Liverpool or went bankrupt, either way the province would lose hundreds of millions of dollars more: • As the company has opted not to build the new mill and instead disintegrate into probably bankruptcy, 420,000 acres of Nova Scotia forest land are for sale; • A shadowy company called Macer Forest Holdings has placed an under-valued bid of $104 million on the land; • A Macer-affiliated company called Acadian Timber is poised to log that land; • One of Acadian’s board members, paid $56,000 annually, is Karen Oldfield, the interim president and CEO of Nova Scotia Health; • Maurice Chiasson, a lawyer who represented the province in the Northern Pulp insolvency hearings, is now representing Macer Forest Holdings in the very same court process; • As the government is struggling to meet its goal of protecting 20% of the province, buying back the Northern Pulp land presents an inexpensive opportunity to meet that goal.

Here are the highlights of the article:

Say their names: Mu'adh Abu Taha, Maryam Abu Daqa, Muhammad Salama, and Hossam Al-Masri. Israel killed FOUR journalists today, as they bombed Nasser, as they have bombed every hospital for two years now. They’re among 275 journalists murdered by US-Israel

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's Fascism 101.

Let’s Go!! #Keepdalstrong Today at noon. See you there DFA

The DFA ratification vote closed at 4:00 pm on Thursday, August 21. An overwhelming 82.7% of those who cast a vote opted to reject the August 11, 2025 offer from the Dalhousie University Board of Governors. “This sends a clear message that the DFA Members are willing to stay the course,” says DFA President Dave Westwood. “Spirits among our picketers is sky high, and support from other faculty associations and unions is strong. It’s time for the Board to come back to the table with something that our members can seriously consider.” A record 93.4% (930 out of 981) of the DFA Membership participated in the vote which opened Thursday, August 14.

Here is a great way to send a message to Ron DeSantis and his alligator prisons:
Florida orange juice sucks.
The Canadian market for American orange juice has tanked. Replace them with regional brands of lemonade, berry juice and anything that is not from Florida.

Omg, JD Vance getting heckled by people yelling ‘COUCH F*CKER’ as he visits Union Station to survey Trump’s militarization of D.C.

My parents showing solidarity with the DFA this morning!

Here’s where we stand:

My union moved on salary and was willing to talk: Dal mgmnt was not interested

My union offered to find ways to save money: Mgmnt said no.

My union wanted to work together to build new child care: Mgmnt didn’t care.

Let’s #KeepDalStrong, we said. No, they replied.

A picture says it all.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. 

That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
